China's Wu beats Phelps in 200m butterfly

[faithfulguy]

The Olympic Games of this year is going to be interesting, and our goal is to bag 60 gold medals since our swimming and athletic fields have been vastly improved from 2008.

I can see how china is doing better in swimming. But Chinese in general would not compete well in track and field because of body type. Which require a set of physical features that is polar opposite from ping pong and diving events

^ generally yes in track and field. better in field than in track. but in the iaaf golden grand prix, kawasaki, Japan about a week ago, we have these pretty good results:

For every fat Chinese kid, there are probably 5 American ones. That's being generous.

But that's the great thing about having the biggest population on earth. We have everyone.

except football........

That's OK. We are still winners in other sports including basketball. Our only weakness is football. We should decrease the popularity of football and increase that of sports we are good at. Sports that are too popular have strong corruption.

Thanks for a great video, and a great race for Wu. I think Michael Phelps glorious days are gone, but what a great athlete though.

Big population doesn't mean that much，just look at indians，they are ＂the sick men of asia＂ in modern times.

Important part is organizing a big population. A country with bigger population and more resources can afford more mistakes than ones with small populations and less resources. Look at how USA easily defeated Japan and USSR easily defeated Germany.

How is this Military News?

Not every news in the World Affairs section is about the military, isn't it?

Agreed Bro! No disrespect to this great swimmer, M Phelps!
